MCCLEARY, Wash. - The reward for information about a young McCleary girl who vanished without a trace in 2009 has been increased to $35,000, the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Department announced Friday.

The increased reward comes two years after Lindsey Baum disappeared while walking home from a friend's house on June 26, 2009 in the small town, population 1,550. The reward previously stood at $30,000.

I have not been here much lately, but everyday is a search for Lindsey. I was just checking the updates on her earlier. Apparently the Honda Ridgeline that was seen in the footage from the gas station, the FBI investigator said it's silver not white. I'm hoping that bringing up the old footage of people the FBI would like to speak with if they saw anything, will bring some individuals forward. It's already been 2 years too many.

Yesterday I said a prayer for little Lindsey. I had no idea where McCleary was until I drove to my daughters house who recently moved to Shelton. I just felt chills as I drove past the turn off realizing how close I live to McCleary. The land around there is so wooded with lots of tall brush just acres and acres of it. Very mountainous too.

I don't know about McCleary but I think Shelton is a little bigger town. My daughter was telling me people don't even lock their doors at night or cars for that matter. Everyone seems to know everyone including business owners. This just blew me away not locking doors. I do not understand how people can be so trusting.

McCleary, WA - Today being the 13th Birthday of missing McCleary girl Lindsey Baum, Grays Harbor County Sheriff Mike Wheelan tells us "We still have full time people devoted to it, the FBI still has full time people devoted to it. We have not given up, and this case has not gone cold, and we're going to continue working it."

There was a birthday cake, balloons, and everything you need to celebrate such an occasion on hand. But Lindsey was not there -- missing now for more than two years.

Some of those attending the party were from the State Patrol, the FBI, local police and sheriff's departments -- all members of the task force trying to find Lindsey, all making sure Lindsay is not forgotten.

"So we're celebrating her 13th birthday, hoping that she knows out there that we're celebrating it with her and that we haven't forgotten her," said her mother Melissa Baum.

I just finished watching the episode of Vanished with Beth featuring Lindsey; it was well made and informative and hopefully someone will come forward with some information. Where are you, lil Lindsey? You are not forgotten!
